Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water environment survey, and in particular to an integrated device for deploying an underwater robot and exploring an operating environment. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, underwater robots (Remote Operated Vehicle, ROV) have been gradually applied to underwater inspection of underwater structures such as reservoir dams and culverts (tunnels) and river terrain and siltation detection. The deployment and recovery of underwater robots and the exploration of on-site operating environments are of great significance to ensure the safe operation of robots.
[0003] At present, it is still difficult to deploy ROV in complex environments such as reservoirs, water diversion projects and rivers, and it mainly relies on manual lifting and unhooking, self-unlocking buckles and other methods. Among them, when using manual lifting and unhooking, workers need to go to the water surface by boat to manually unhook, which increases the operation time and poses certain safety hazards; ROV self-unlocking buckles are easy to use, but the manufacturing process is complicated and the cost is high.
[0004] On-site working environment exploration is usually carried out manually or by unmanned vessels, which increases operation time and cost. In addition, it is impossible to coordinate ROV lowering and on-site working environment detection, which may lead to a mismatch between the water conditions during on-site exploration and the water conditions when the ROV is lowered.
[0005] For the reservoir environment, ROV underwater inspection is mainly carried out on areas such as the dam, the inlet of the discharge and water transfer structure, the reservoir bank near the dam and the reservoir bottom. These areas have complex environments and geometric shapes. ROV deployment and on-site operation environment exploration should be carried out in coordination to collect on-site water environment data (including: flow rate conditions and water turbidity conditions, etc.) to ensure that the on-site environment under the ROV meets the operational requirements. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated device that meets the requirements of underwater robot deployment and operating environment exploration.

[0098] It should be noted that the propeller drive motor 224, telescopic storage drive rod 235, deflection drive motor 254, high-pressure ballast control valve 2651, ballast water control valve 2661, air compressor 267, hoisting winch 31, and sampling control valve 448 used in the various embodiments of the present application are structures or products of the prior art, which are not specifically limited here, and those skilled in the art can choose to use them according to common sense.
[0099] In the actual application process of the present invention, the underwater robot 90 is hoisted on the lower side of the main body bearing support frame 11 by the robot hoisting mechanism 30. When on land, the entire device is driven by the land walking driving wheels 24 to move and travel, and gradually travels into the water through the gentle slope of the dock. The main body bearing buoy 12 is used to provide buoyancy in the water for the entire device, so that the entire device floats on the water surface. The ducted propeller 22 on the lower side of the main body bearing buoy 12 is used to provide driving force in the water for the entire device, and the entire device is driven to move to a designated position. Then the underwater robot 90 is deployed underwater, and the underwater robot 90 is used to explore the underwater.
[0100] A sealed waterproof box is fixedly installed on the main body bearing support frame 11, and then a plurality of prior art rechargeable batteries are installed in the sealed waterproof box, and the electric energy stored in the batteries is used to provide power for driving the entire device;
[0101] When walking on land, the telescopic storage driving rod 235 is used to drive the driving wheel telescopic sliding cylinder 234 to move along the axis of the driving wheel telescopic support cylinder 233, thereby adjusting the support position of the land walking driving wheel 24 and adjusting the ground clearance of the main body bearing support frame 11 to meet the hoisting requirements of various specifications of the underwater robot 90, and also to cope with various terrain environments for movement and travel;
[0102] When the entire device is transferred to the water, the driving wheel telescopic support cylinder 233 is folded and stored. Specifically, the deflection drive motor 254 drives the deflection driven worm gear 252 to rotate through the deflection drive worm 253, and the deflection driven worm gear 252 drives the driving wheel storage support shaft 232 to rotate together with the driving wheel telescopic support cylinder 233, and the driving wheel telescopic support cylinder 233 drives the driving wheel telescopic sliding cylinder 234 to deflect upward and store together with the land walking driving wheel 24, which is beneficial to reduce the travel resistance in the water body;
[0103] The lifting and locking mechanism 33 is used to facilitate the rapid lifting and installation of the robot lifting support frame 32 and the underwater robot 90, and to facilitate the rapid deployment of the underwater robot 90 underwater. The lifting and locking support column 336 is fixedly installed on the top of the underwater robot 90. The lifting winch 31 is used to drive the robot lifting support frame 32 to move in the vertical direction as a whole, so that the lifting and locking outer cylinder 331 at the bottom of the robot lifting support frame 32 and the lifting and locking support column 336 are aligned in the vertical direction. By moving the robot lifting support frame 32 downward as a whole, the lifting and locking support column 336 is inserted into the lifting and locking outer cylinder 331, and then the locking driving rod 335 is used to drive the locking constraint rod 334 to move, so that the end of the locking constraint rod 334 is stuck in the locking constraint ring groove 337, so that the lifting and installation of the robot lifting support frame 32 and the underwater robot 90 can be completed. The cable of the lifting winch 31 is tightened to drive the robot lifting support frame 32 and the underwater robot 90 to move upward as a whole, so that the underwater robot 90 is away from the ground.
[0104] After the ducted propeller 22 drives the entire device to move to the specified position, the cable of the hoisting winch 31 is released, so that the robot hoisting support frame 32 and the underwater robot 90 are sunk into the water as a whole. When the underwater robot 90 reaches the specified depth, the locking drive rod 335 drives the locking constraint rod 334 to move, so that the locking constraint rod 334 is disengaged from the locking constraint ring groove 337. Then, the cable of the hoisting winch 31 is tightened to drive the robot hoisting support frame 32 back to the initial position, and the deployment of the underwater robot 90 is completed.
[0105] The relative position and distance between the lifting locking outer cylinders 331 on the robot lifting support frame 32 can be adjusted by the adaptive matching mechanism 34 to adapt to the lifting and installation of underwater robots 90 of various specifications;
[0106] The servo motor drives the matching adjustment support slider 344 to move along the matching adjustment support rail 343, and the matching adjustment support slider 344 drives the lifting and locking outer cylinder 331 to move together.
[0107] The servo motor drives the adaptive matching support plate 342 to rotate around the axis of the adaptive matching fixed cylinder 341, which can adjust the direction of the matching adjustment support slide rail 343, and then adjust the movement adjustment direction of the lifting and locking outer cylinder 331, and adjust the relative position and distance between each lifting and locking outer cylinder 331, so as to adapt to the lifting and installation of underwater robots 90 of various specifications;
[0108] In the width adjustment mechanism 13, the width adjustment driving rod 133 is used to drive the width adjustment sliding cylinder 132 to move relatively along the axis of the width adjustment support cylinder 131, thereby driving the central support frame 111 and the side support frames 112 on both sides to move relatively. When the side support frames 112 move away from each other, the main body support frame 11 becomes wider as a whole, and when the side support frames 112 move closer to each other, the main body support frame 11 becomes narrower as a whole. The size of the main body support frame 11 is adjusted, which is why it is suitable for the underwater robots 90 of various specifications to be hoisted and installed;
[0109] The floating height of the whole equipment on the water surface is adjusted by using the floating control mechanism 26, and high-pressure air is injected into the high-pressure ballast chamber 263 through the high-pressure ballast connecting pipe 265, and the ballast driving piston 262 is driven to discharge the water in the ballast water chamber 264 through the ballast water connecting pipe 266, so as to reduce the weight of the whole equipment and adjust the whole equipment to float upward;
[0110] The high-pressure air in the high-pressure ballast chamber 263 is released through the high-pressure ballast connecting pipe 265, and the external water enters the ballast water chamber 264 through the ballast water connecting pipe 266, so that the whole equipment is increased in weight and the whole equipment is adjusted to sink and move;
[0111] The underwater detection mechanism 40 is used to conveniently explore the underwater environment, including the detection of water temperature, water turbidity, water flow rate, water pH and water salt ions, and to collect water samples;
[0112] A lifting and locking support column 336 is also fixed on the top of the underwater detection mounting frame 41, so as to facilitate the overall lifting and installation of the underwater detection mechanism 40 on the lower side of the robot lifting support frame 32;
[0113] Various underwater detectors 43 are installed on the underwater detection mounting frame 41 through the quick-release structure 42. In the quick-release structure 42, the limit shaft through hole 423 is connected to the slide groove on the quick-release structure slider 422. By twisting the quick-release limit constraint shaft 424 so that the quick-release limit constraint shaft 424 is stuck in the quick-release limit constraint groove 426, the quick-release structure slider 422 can be relatively fixed on the quick-release structure slide rail 421, and then the underwater detector 43 can be fixedly installed on the quick-release structure slider 422.
[0114] By twisting the quick-release limit constraint shaft 424 to make the limit release groove 425 flush with the surface of the quick-release structure slide rail 421, the quick-release structure slider 422 can slide freely on the quick-release structure slide rail 421, which is convenient for disassembly and installation of the quick-release structure slider 422 together with the underwater detector 43;
[0115] When the underwater detection mounting frame 41 and the robot lifting support frame 32 are hoisted and installed, the robot lifting support frame 32 and the underwater detection mounting frame 41 are driven to move together by tightening and releasing the cable of the lifting winch 31, so that the underwater detection mounting frame 41 is moved to a specified depth to detect the underwater environment using each underwater detector 43;
[0116] By tightening and releasing the cable of the lifting winch 31, the robot lifting support frame 32 is driven to move together with the water sampling mechanism 44 to the sampling depth. When the bottle is empty, the interior of the water sampling bottle 443 is in a negative pressure state. When the corresponding sampling control valve 448 is opened, under the action of negative pressure, water is injected into the water sampling bottle 443 through the sampling delivery tube 446 and the sampling delivery needle 447. When the water sampling bottle 443 has completed the collection, the corresponding sampling control valve 448 can be closed. Multiple water sampling bottles 443 can be controlled individually, which is convenient for collecting water samples at multiple locations and depths.
